Yep. It's a new journal! (Found out `nyssi has put this incredible CSS together and it kicked me into gear!)

It's weird, though. After nearly two years of not updating this thing, I don't even know what to say. So I'll keep it short and sweet. Jensey and I are finally married, madly in love, and loving life. Oh, and keeping busy with the photo biz. We moved into a house, are taking our first vacation (ever) to Disneyland next month, and are going to start shooting internationally by the end of the year!

And since I last updated this, I guess I was on the prints staff, huh? Welp, photo life got a little too busy and I just wasn't able to commit the time necessary to keep productive with DA and I was let go. It was a great experience for the years I had it and there's too many people to thank as a result of it. So...good job or something, everyone.

If we've already bugged you about voting for us, you can probably just ignore me for the next week. But if you're interested in winning some art, keep reading!

The contest is pretty simple. We're in the running for a local "Best Of" type of contest for photography and would really like to win! We're actually in 1st place right now, but need to keep the lead up for the next week. Since we can't really track who votes, we're working the contest this way...

    - Feature the "Vote for Us" thumb (shown below) in your journal ... 1 entry

    - Add the "Vote for Us" thumb in your journal, and actually talk about it ... 2 entries

    - Dedicate a journal entry to this contest! ... 6(!) entries

Be sure to send me a note so I can check your journal and put your name in the running! At the end of this contest (August 8th), we'll randomly select a name from a hat or something (not sure yet what sort of fancy random machine we'll use.) Obviously, the more entries you have, the better your chances. And whoever is picked will be contacted to receive a 18x24" Root Photo Art Print! We'll also be glad to substitute the art print for a Premium Print Account + 1 year Sub.

Rules: Brand new user accounts are not eligible. Contest ends August 7th, 12pm(noon) EST. Art Prints can be chosen from `achfoo or =MissAchfoo's deviantart galleries. (Additional photos may be available by end of contest.
